Biochemistry and Clinical Biochemistry

About

Biochemistry and Clinical Biochemistry is a medical specialty that analyzes blood, urine, and other body fluids in the laboratory to support the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of diseases.

Biochemical tests play a crucial role in evaluating metabolic disorders, diabetes, liver and kidney diseases, hormonal imbalances, infections, and many systemic conditions.

Clinical biochemistry laboratories measure numerous parameters—including blood glucose, lipid profiles, liver enzymes, kidney function tests, electrolytes, hormone levels, and tumor markers—using reliable, standardized methods. The primary goal is to provide accurate and timely results that scientifically support physicians in their clinical decision-making.
